Sheffield in the 70s

Can anybody remember Pippeys shop on a side road just off the moor. Think it was the bottom of the road where Coles is. Lots of hippyish things like ethnic clothing, joss sticks, Anne Summers type equipment ( if you get my drift), 'smoking equipment' etc.

 

It all sounds so run of the mill these days but it was very far out at the time.

What about The Raven on Fitzwilliam St? A brilliant pub which then became Hornblowers, a naff pub, then O'Hagans, a faux Irish pub even naffer and finally pulled down.

 

Anyone remember drinking in The Nottingham House when there was only room for about 15 people in total?

does anyone remember the Elmambo coffee bar on Union st . This was through the Arcade from the Moor. Barney Goodman was top

of the Arcade. Also the Nelson Pub near the Horse troph and toilets down the moor.
